Corinth
Good Morning, God. This is an old photo from the book The Greek World. When I was there in Corinth a decade or so ago I don’t think I saw anything but pillars. The lintels had fallen.
It makes me think of Time Passing — not just for civilizations but for me — and not just for me but for my mom. Not the most cheerful of topics, to be sure. But it does enforce a certain perspective.
Paul preached in Corinth and wrote two of his letters to the church there. Letters in which he calls them/us to become new creatures in Christ. Calls us to become Ambassadors of Reconciliation — reconciling the world to YOU, God, through Christ. Going through Christ is hard. It is like the camel going through the eye of a needle. Talk about enforcing perspective!
We (and most civilizations) seem to be focused on building monuments — when we could be building relationships. Relationships. It seems to me that all my relationships rest on my relationship with You. When my life is set in context — in You and in Your love — then all the other relationships do better. Ah, You point out that having come to You THROUGH CHRIST I have truly set myself in context . . . I have the right perspective.
We are the sheep of Your Pasture. It is YOU who have made us and not we ourselves. I am a sheep. I need a Shepherd. AND I HAVE A SHEPHERD. That reality is way outside of TIME and vastly comforting. Thank You.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
